I'm delighted to see Netrition begin to carry the Vega line of products, and at a competitive price. I've been a fan of several Vega products for years. The choc-o-lot energizing smoothie is good tasting, satisfying, and healthy. It has an interesting hazelnut undertaste and mixes very easily and with good consistency. I use a shaker and add 8 ounces of cold water, though I bet it would be delicious with milk and/or using a vitamix. I think this is the best tasting healthiest smoothie around.

I first tried the Choc-a-lot and that was great, so I decided to try the Vanilla Almondilla. Bad choice! This flavor has a chemical taste and is not good. I had to add a scoop of choc-a-lot so that I could drink it. Sorry, but I will stick to chocolate flavor.

The nutrition claims were very good, so with open minds, we ordered a pack of the lightly salted SaviSeeds.

We're not clear if these were old and rancid, or if this is the taste they are supposed to have, but the taste was unpleasant and bitter. At any price we would not have liked them, but they surely were not worth the high price for a small bag that ended up feeding squirrels at the nearby park... assuming the squirrels ate them.

I use this powder mixed with soy milk and 2 tbl spoons of crushed flax seed most mornings. I tried it as I am newly vegan. It is filling and taste great. I am an avid daily runner and alternate between P90x2 and TRX band training 6 days a week. So pretty intense functional fitness workouts but not bodybuilding. Again works great.
